Chapter 20 Seven-character Motto
Lin Feng left Situ Mansion, had a simple meal on the side of the road with Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun, rode straight to their new village outside the city, found a few principals, and seriously discussed the matter of the ceremony the day after tomorrow.
When it was approaching, Lin Feng went out of the village and returned to the city, and ordered Zhang Bin to rush to Han Xizai's mansion to bring a message to Lao Han, and he and Feng Jingyun galloped to King Zheng's mansion.
After discussing with King Zheng in the study for an hour, Lin Feng said goodbye and returned home.
At this time, almost all the people in the house had fallen asleep, Lin Feng rushed directly to the study, hugged Xiao Fei'er, who was already asleep, and slept quietly.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng got up on time to get dressed, and ordered that a family banquet would be held in the mansion tonight, and everyone would be gathered. Xiao Fei'er, who was reluctant, and Duan Feihong, who rushed over after hearing the news, nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng took Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun and went straight to the construction site of the Datang Academy of Sciences.
In the early morning, the construction site was naturally in a state of deep sleep and not waking up. After ten days of not seeing, the overall outline of the Academy of Sciences and the large foundation have been revealed.
Lin Feng woke up several craftsmen and selected people from other places who stayed on the construction site, rolled up his sleeves, and together with Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun, he moved a large pile of green bricks and piled them up not far from the east gate, stirring a large pile of thin mud next to him, and a group of people began to get busy under Lin Feng's command.
There are more people on the construction site, and they all spontaneously join this busy ranks. Although everyone was suspicious, no one said anything, silently obeyed Lin Feng's command, and built the blue bricks into a strange building that was two people high, sometimes hollow in the middle, and sometimes solid.
"Looks like a few words!" Someone whispered, and more and more people were guessing what the words were.
Shi Xubai, Li Deming, and Chen Chuyao, the three vice presidents, also arrived one after another, without saying a word, and also handed Lin Feng a brick on the side.
When King Zheng and Li Yu also arrived on foot, Lin Feng happened to arrange the last few surface bricks in person, and instructed the big guys to remove the pile of bricks used for stepping feet.
The slanting morning light shone through, and through the hollow space of the strange building, seven large characters were projected on the ground.
"Science, questioning, imagination?" Li Yu looked up at this strange building, looked down at the projection under his feet, and read it out loud.
"Yes, this is the concept of the academy drawn up by his subordinates for the Academy of Sciences!" Lin Feng looked at the bright big characters on the ground with satisfaction, patted the dust on his hands, and ordered everyone to gather together.
These seven words and three words are the motto of the Academy of Sciences that Lin Feng thought about for a long time, and originally wanted to erect a heavy stone tablet at the east gate, but because everything was planned to speed up and advance, Lin Feng had the idea of this idea.
And sixty-six!
In the process of waiting, Lin Feng secretly counted all the people present, except for Zhang Jiao, who was secretly sent by him, a total of five people have left the Academy of Sciences one after another these days and have been transferred to other ministries. Needless to say, those five people all have backgrounds and backgrounds, for them, participating in the talent ceremony is just a formality, for Lin Feng, such a person is actually more worry-free, which is a good thing.
Lin Feng coughed lightly, focused everyone's attention, and said in a loud voice: "Many people are afraid that they have already thought of it, these seven big characters are the founding concept of our Datang Academy of Sciences, and it can also be said to be the motto of the academy!" I want everyone to take a look at the construction site every day and think about it. I hope that these seven words will not only stand there, but that you will always remember them. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Feng strode in front of the seven fonts, and read aloud word by word: "Science-Learning, Question-Doubt, Imagination-Image-Force!" ”
The morning light gradually rose, and the large characters cast on the ground were slowly shortened and recycled.
Lin Feng stared at the ever-changing font underground, and said loudly, "Let's talk about science first." Scientists, the Tao is also a constant, objective thing, not changed because of you, not because of him!
White and day, cold and heat, yin and yang, woe and blessing...... Everything in this world is dialectical and relatively interdependent, and is not changed by personal will and thoughts, this is the Tao, this is science! ”
The font on the ground disappeared, and the rising sunlight reflected everyone's faces in front of Lin Feng even brighter.
Lin Feng stopped, stared at the eyes of Li Yu, the king of Zheng in front of him, and continued: "However, science is not only an illusory Tao, but also a pragmatic technique!"
For thousands of years, the output per acre of land has been increasing, what is this for? This is because we have discovered high-yielding seeds, invented advanced cultivation techniques, and invented suitable cultivation methods, which is science!
For thousands of years, weapons have changed from bronze to iron to steel, and the war knives have become sharper and sharper, which has been repeatedly pondered and studied by generations of skilled craftsmen in front of the iron-smelting furnace! That's science!
For thousands of years, the ships we have ridden have ranged from canoes that can only accommodate one person, to Mong, to warships like high-rise buildings, which is precisely because generations of carpenters have summed up from the experience of shipbuilding, and have tried and explored them in the trial and real battles in the water again and again! That's science!
……
There are countless such examples, from weapons and ships to small meals and bowls in our daily life, which are full of the shadow of science! ”
"Lord Lin, can we also have something to do with science with chopsticks?" A scholar in a Confucian costume in the crowd said that he was the only Pan Ben on the construction site who refused to take off his Confucian costume.
Lin Feng nodded at Pan Ben and replied with a smile, "Okay, Pan Ben, right?" First of all, I want to give you a good impression score for daring to question!
But I'll tell you, of course it's science to hold chopsticks! In terms of bowls, why do we ordinary people use coarse porcelain bowls to eat? Let's think about it, it has a large mouth and a small bottom, and there is an extra circle of hollow edges in the lower part, is it for the convenience of holding water and rice, so that we can pick it up and ensure that it is not hot? Is its rounded edge convenient for us to eat and drink from any place? Does it fit the amount of food that most of us can eat, and make sure that we don't weigh too much to pick it up? Does it use coarse porcelain instead of fine porcelain, taking into account that most of us can't afford fine porcelain? Isn't this science based on our actual needs for daily eating? ”
Pan Ben was speechless and stunned, and the others were all dumbfounded, this, this, this bowl that everyone uses every day and there are so many things to talk about and pay attention to?
The smile on Lin Feng's face remained unchanged, he picked up a thin branch from the ground, folded it into two crude chopsticks, held them in the air, and said loudly, "Let's talk about chopsticks." Its length and size are fixed, and this is not something that anyone arbitrarily decides, but it is scientifically determined from the reality of our meals. If the chopsticks are too long, we will be too far away from the bowl, we will be too tired to eat, the chopsticks will be too short, we will be too close to the bowl, and we will feel very uncomfortable. The chopsticks are thicker, and it is very laborious to pick up, and the chopsticks are thinner, and we can't hold them hard. Let's go farther, everyone's part of holding chopsticks is about the same, the middle and upper part of chopsticks, which is what our parents taught us from childhood, but in fact, you are the most comfortable and effortless to hold there, and it is equally laborious to hold far and close, isn't it? What are these not science? ”
"Pan Ben, do you understand?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Yes! Xie Lu Xie Lin's advice! Pan Ben nodded thoughtfully and whispered.
Lin Feng pointed to the Confucian clothes on Pan Ben's body, and said with a smile: "Pan Ben, talk about you again!" You are alone in Confucian clothes on the whole construction site, although it looks formal and solemn, but do you feel very inconvenient when working? It's not a scientific thing to do when it's time for you to make a big move, and you're wearing an all-over robe! ”
Lin Feng's good-natured teasing immediately triggered a low burst of laughter, and Pan Ben's face immediately turned red.
"Let me tell you, a Confucian costume not only restricts your hands and feet, but also restricts your way of life and affairs, and also restricts your state of mind. There aren't many people on the construction site who are willing to work with you, right? I'm afraid that you won't be in a good mood after work one day, right? Lin Feng still had a smile on his face, but his tone became a little serious.
“…… It's ......," Pan Ben blushed and lowered his head and whispered.
"Raise your head!" Lin Feng suddenly broke off.
The sound was like thunder, not only Pan Ben was so frightened that he immediately raised his head, but several people who were thinking about it quickly raised their heads.
"Whether it's right or wrong, if you don't even dare to raise your head, it's called not daring to take responsibility! It's not the husband's doing! I hope that I will always see your head held high in the future, and you still have an upright and arrogant heart! Lin Feng said sternly.
"Yes, Lord Lin! I'll take off my robe later! Pan Ben gritted his teeth and said loudly. The others also subconsciously straightened their bodies, their eyes looking straight ahead, looking at Lin Feng.
"Well, I believe in you! With science out of the way, let's move on to the second word: questioning! Lin Feng smiled again and said loudly.
